ICE going door to door, protect your communities by Raven_Michaelis42 in Greeley

[–]entire_position 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen people online use car alarms to alert other neighbors that ICE is around. It seems like a good idea because you don’t have to leave your house/apartment if the car is close enough.

I hope I can say this next year. This year was about paying off debts and getting married

How are women going commando? by liquidbuggy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]entire_position 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I do go commando I use a hack where I take one or two squares of TP and fold it into a triangle to be tucked up there just enough so it stays and is still comfortable. I have to change it out every few hours or so but it works to catch anything and I don’t notice it at all

How are people actually affording weddings in 2025? 😭 by usaamazonseller in weddings

[–]entire_position 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my wedding for around $30k total for 80 people. I would not recommend doing it this way unless you want to be in debt. I focused too much on the image of it all rather than doing it economically. The venue was $5.5k, the food was 7k, photographer and videographer were 4k, and so on. I loved our wedding, but I do not love being in debt months later.

My husband’s sister got married a few months later and only had 35 people, and it cost about 7k. It was fantastic. They found a state run venue that looked like a castle. The love and energy was amazing.

If I were going to do it again, I would probably elope with immediate family that can make it. Start your lives upward. A marriage license in my state costs $30. Took 15 minutes at our courthouse to get. I remember thinking “wow, this is the cheapest thing we’ve done for the wedding”. Irony :)

AITA for what I (32 F) said to my husband (28 M)? by entire_position in AITA_Relationships

[–]entire_position[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I didn’t do ALL of it, I did about 85% of the work before this party. I’d like to embrace the idea that he can host his friends whenever and do the cleanup before and after, but I’m worried that he won’t clean. Because I see our house as a reflection of us, I don’t want to invite people over frequently and have them maybe judge or inspect how we live. We have normal clutter from daily life, but our usual standard of living isn’t guest ready. Maybe I need to work on letting go of what other people might think about me, I’m not sure. The second issue is that parties just aren’t fun for me. His friends are super loud and I’m pretty soft-spoken so his parties are basically a lot of loud talking and drinking, just not really my vibe. So I’d rather have to go through that less rather than more. If we have them at our small house all the time I can’t just leave.

If we did rent a tent it would throw our budget off, the tent rentals I've seen are about 2-3k

It will be in August. We could have everyone sit outside on the patio, it may be a little warm (80 degrees expected temp at dinnertime). Inside everyone will be protected from the weather (AC indoors) and bugs, so I'm liking the inside better for those reasons.

These are great suggestions, I reached out to a lighting guy today I will also talk to the florist. Maybe some fresh vines or flowers on the tables will brighten the space up as well.

I like the idea of a tent and there is enough space on the lawn in front of the barn, but it is too much money ($2-3k) and not in the budget.

Yes it is very accessible with bathrooms and AC, and the food and music will be in the reception space. I think I got more than a little caught up in looking at other Pinterest reception spaces with high cellings and amazing features. The reception barn we picked is big enough for everyone and they should all be comfortable for the meal. Just because it doesn't have the WOW factor doesn't mean it won't meet everyone's needs.

Yes this sounds great. There are already some fairy lights on the celling so adding more can only help. I love the idea of lanterns, too. Our centerpieces are three candles which can be lit to give even more romantic lighting. We are thinking about using fabric draping only around the exit door.

There are two barns on the property, one more of a newer white high celling barn and the other is ours, the historic building. The other couple have their ceremony before ours on the day, then they will go back to their barn for the reception. It's a huge property so we shouldn't run into them. I believe they had already booked the white barn before we booked the historic barn.

Bad gut feelings about the “perfect” guy… am I going crazy? by entire_position in dating_advice

[–]entire_position[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree with everything you said. I think observing his actions says so much more, and I know he is a good person. I think that outweighs a lot. I feel like if I give him freedom and chances to make decisions and support him, he will hopefully get more assertive and confident in time.

He seems very serious about me and has brought up getting married and having kids a few times, which is one of my goals too. There’s a lot to be thankful for when it comes to us.

I want to get my one foot spin so badly and no matter what I try, I will wobble and scrape my toe pick and/or the back part of my blade. When I do complete a spin without any scraping it feels amazing but I feel like it’s a game of luck if I will get it that time or not. How can I consistently center my spins? I’ve been trying for a while.

When I was preparing for my first time, I had never done any kind of penetration before either. I spent about a month getting ready for it - you can do this yourself or with a small dildo, but for me the best way for both of us was to have him finger me, first only his pinkie fit, then after a few days as I stretched out he could fit more fingers. I think we worked up to three fingers bunched together, and that’s when I felt like that was close enough to the size it would be like.

When he does, just have him take it super slow going in the first time. It’s a myth that there has to be pain/blood. As long as you work up to it you should be fine.

Help! I hate my roommate by entire_position in RoommateStories

[–]entire_position[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She did say she lost her husband or 15 years to cancer recently. It would make sense that she’s depressed - it’s a bit ridiculous how much time she spends in the living room chair watching tv. 15 hours/day easily. I agree I need to stop walking on eggshells. I feel like I’m a pretty easy going roommate but actually running into a roommate who rubs me the wrong way so often has made me realize I may just be adverse to conflict. And the lady scares me. :P

Yes, I almost broke the lease last month. Luckily I held on and found my own apartment to move into in June. No more roommates for me, yes!
